Package: konversation
Version: 1.5-1
Severity: important

Check for invalid input in encrypted buffers

The ECB Blowfish decryption function assumed that encrypted input would
always come in blocks of 12 characters, as specified. However, buggy
clients or annoying people may not adhere to that assumption, causing
the core to crash while trying to process the invalid base64 input.
